Summer Touches

on July 8, 2015

Dear Friends,

Independence Day has come and gone and we are barreling toward mid-July. I’m kind of shocked yet I know that summer is just another swift moving season. I feel like I’ve been hanging my head out the window of a moving car. Wind-blown, content, and disheveled at the same time. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our lack of crazy but the days are long and exhausting.

Like days with a newborn where the tired is physical.

I’ve actually been doing a lot of little projects around the house but documenting them is a whole different ballgame. I’ve got pictures so the posts will eventually come. If I get up early in the morning, I’ve been running and I need it to face the hours with the crazy people. They are fun but they will suck the life out of you.

I might be a shell of a person by August.

I’m not ready to think about August – we still have our beach week with the girls and a week of day camp to look forward to. Just don’t say the “s” word because I refuse to let stinky sharks and their carnivorous ways ruin my vacation. I’m hoping they will set up camp elsewhere by the end of the month.

Hydrangeas might be my favorite summer decorating piece. My mom has an abundance of them in beautiful blue. Summer decor is really somewhat of a year round thing here. My family room has the touches of coral, yellow, and blue so the mood is always a little bit summery. I hesitate to go all out with themed knick knacks but I do have a few summer touches to speak of.

Not an abundance of summer styling but those little details can make all the difference. Wooden coral and painted driftwood are beachy and bright. My summer style right now is a wrecked house, a pile of laundry, and an abundance of beach towels. Throw in a pile of flip flops and a gaggle of goggles and the scene is complete.
